So I looked around on a few threads and did not find a accurate answer. Also checked out MMOchampion.
Anways in regards to Cataclysm, yes it comes out at 12:01am PST on the 7th (Tuesday Morning). I understand the launch time. But what does that exactly mean.
My question. When Cataclysm launches, will realms be down before then for maintance/launch? Or while we are in game playing, will everything unlock, the new zones, dungeons, etc. Or do we have to log out and relog back in for Cataclysm to "kick in" to our account.
The reason I ask, a lot of people are going to be going for a lot of realm firsts.
Please clarify with a Blue Post.
Thanks and Best of Luck in Cata

But what are you doing up this late? :O Conditioning yourself for some marathon play? :] More like launch-night graveyard shift. :) |

12/06/2010 2:40 AMPosted by Famous@ Bashiok, I will verify exactly what's necessary tomorrow! 12/06/2010 2:40 AMPosted by ShaelisBest of luck for a headache free evening, sir. Thanks! Zar will be in the office with me. If it's anywhere as smooth as Wrath launch we'll be able to level our goblins. ;) |

12/06/2010 2:53 AMPosted by BullvinorThanks Bash! only question I and a lot of other people have is- That wasn't the case for BC or Wrath, I don't know why it would be this time. I can't think of any reason why it would be. I would bet money they won't but I can double check. (For the shattering it made sense obviously.) |

12/06/2010 4:39 AMPosted by Syrra Upgrade your account to Cataclysm, run the launcher, you'll have any remaining data downloaded you don't have yet, and you'll be all set. There's actually no reason to keep World of Warcraft discs around with the way the game is digitally delivered now. |
